about me

My name is Em and I have grown up in the suburbs in the Bay Area my entire life. I am interested in dissecting the nature of people and how it influences the way we work, live, and develop our communities.

I am a park lover, a biker under the trees, and a believer that America has missed an opportunity to build green-forward cities.

My goal? To put my thoughts into words and my words into action

I have a background in technical design and have the skills to put my ideas right into my hands. My personal projects and hobbies have touched every corner of creation...

hand-bound books
art, music, and lifestyle magazines
jewelry from antique spoon
wire wrapping
ceramics and stained glass
custom printed playing cards
recipes: cooked, baked, and compiled
(always willing to share)
reworked junk keychains
hand sewn clothes for music festivals
knit and crocheted hats
stuffed animals made from recycled material
painting, sculpting, & writing stories
designing websites, maps, & graphics
mixing everything-under-the-sink potions
(haven't done this one since I was young)

I'm always itching to learn more and learn better
